(3)

1. Product, in the form of powder with the following principal analytical results (percentage by weight):

—

milk fat

—

whey proteins

74,3 (78,9 by dry weight)

—

0404 90 33

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and the texts of CN codes 0404, 0404 90 and 0404 90 33. Because of its protein lactose and milk fat content, which differs considerably from that of whey powder, the product is excluded from code CN 0404 10. 2. Mushrooms of the species Agaricus completely simmered. The musrooms are immersed in water, to which salt and/or citric acid and/or SO2 may have been added, and have been chilled. These mushrooms, which are not put up in packs for retail sale, are used, generally, as a starting material in the preservation industry. 2003 10 10

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, as well as by Additional Note 1 to Chapter 20 and by the texts of CN codes 2003, 2003 10 and 2003 10 10

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. The primary purpose of the Community Labour Force Survey is to provide harmonized and
reliable statistics for the formulation and monitoring of labour market-linked policies. Over the
years this survey has successfully met increased statistical requirements in the context of the
Community's Social and Regional Funds, and has grown into a unique and indispensable tool for
the preparation and evaluation of Community action programmes in the areas of employment,
unemployment, long-term unemployment, and vocational training, as well as for the purposes of
regional, social, economic and agricultural policies. 2. Comparative analyses of key labour market characteristics covering the whole of the economy
are essential for relevant Community policies. At present, this requirement can only be fulfilled by
the Community Labour Force Surveys which covers all sectors of economic activity and
population groups, and is subject to common content and definitions. National statistics are limited
by national laws and practices, while other harmonized Community statistics cover only certain
sectors of the economy or specific population groups. This strong potential of the Labour Force Surveys in analysing the socioeconomic situation in the
Community and its regions is widely reflected in two significant reports :

a)
b)

the "Employment in Europe" report and
the "Periodic reports on the social and economic situation and development of the
regions of the Community"

3. The new series of Community LFS proposed under this Regulation, while covering (as in the
past) traditional aspects of employment and unemployment has now been extended to other policy
areas such as non-standard working arrangements (i. e. part-time, temporary work, shiftwork,
weekend work, etc. ), vocational training, second jobs, migration and regional mobility. The survey is also the sole instrument available for analysing the labour force characteristics of
households. 4. A qualitative feature of the new series of surveys is that it will provide more reliable estimates
at regional level (NUTS-II level) and will thus enhance its uses for identifying problem areas or
evaluating the impact of specific measures within the context of the objectives of the Structural
Funds. 5. An analysis of labour market dynamics must be based on identical surveys over a number of
years; it is therefore the intention of the Commission to maintain these surveys unchanged for a
long period of time. 6. Household surveys of this kind absorb substantial proportions of the annual budget of National
Statistical Institutes. Given the new sample design requirements and the large extension of the
content of the survey, member states shall need, at least for an initial period of three years, an
increased survey budget. Appropriations for a Community contribution towards expenditure
incurred by member states and for development, analysis and maintenance work carried out by
Eurostat will be entered under Article B 5-600, "Statistical Programme relating to the Single Act",
of the general budget of the European Communities for the corresponding years. - 3 -

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

on the organization of an annual labour force sample survey

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
particular Article 213 thereof,

Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,

Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks which are assigned to it by the Treaty, and in
particular by Articles 2, 92, 117, 118, 122,123 and 130 d thereof, the Commission must be
acquainted with the situation and developments in employment and unemployment;

Whereas the advent of the European internal market increases the need for statistical
information to monitor the development of economic and social convergence so that
comparisons may be made between Member States and regions in the Community;

Whereas the best method of ascertaining the level and the structure of employment and
unemployment consists in carrying out a harmonized and synchronized Community labour
force sample survey, as has been done annually in the past,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 (Context and periodicity)

In the spring of each year, starting in 1992, the Statistical Office of the European
Communities (Eurostat) shall conduct for the Commission a labour force sample survey in
each of the Member States (EC Labour Force Survey). Article 2 (Survey units)

The survey shall be carried out in each of the Member States in a sample of households of
persons having their residence in the territory of those States at the time of the survey. Member States shall make every effort to prevent double counting of persons with more than
one residence. The information shall be collected for each member of the households included in the
sample. In cases where one member of the household provides information for other
members, this shall be clearly indicated. -4 -

Article 3 (Representativeness of the sample)

(1) The national Statistical Offices shall carry out the EC Labour Force Survey within the
framework of a national survey and shall ensure that the sample is designed according to the
usual practice in the member-state in question, in such a way that the volume of the sample
will be identical to that in the national survey. In this context, to ensure a reliable foundation for comparative analysis at Community
(2)
level as well as at the level of the Member States and of specific regions, the sampling plan
shall guarantee that for characteristics relating to 5% of the population of working-age the
relative standard error at NUTS II level (or equivalent) does not exceed 8%, assuming the
design effect for the variable "unemployment". Regions with less than 300 000 inhabitants
shall be exempt from this requirement. (3) The national statistical offices shall ensure that at least a quarter of the survey units are
taken from the preceding survey and that a proportion of at least a quarter shall form part of
a subsequent survey. These two groups shall be identified by a code. (4) The Member States shall provide Eurostat with whatever information is required for the
organization and methodology of the survey, and in particular they shall indicate the criteria
adopted for the design and extent of the sample. Article 4 (Survey characteristics)

(1) The survey shall cover the following characteristics :

2. 1. Justification de l'action choisie par rapport à une alternative

qui permet d'atteindre les mêmes objectifs
Cette action atteint 4 résultats :

elle donne aux Institutions les éléments quantitatifs au
niveau national et régional pour élaborer, suivre et évaluer
tout programme d'action (en particulier, Fonds Structurels)
conformément è l'article 3 paragraphe 2 du Règlement
financier : "elle contribue donc à une utilisation plus
efficace et pertinente du budget communautaire. "
elle donne aux Administrations nationales les statistiques
comparables sur l'ensemble des pays membres pour évaluer et
contrôler
politiques
des
communautaires. elle fournit aux acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux
de la Communauté les informations chiffrées pour prendre et
évaluer leurs décisions dans leurs domaines d'activités
respectifs : elle est donc un élément essentiel du marché
européen de l'information. elle permet à la Communauté scientifique de disposer des
informations nécessaires à faire avancer les analyses et la
connaissance de la vie économique et sociale de la
Communauté. l'évolution

programmes

a) Coût

Le financement de cette action repose essentiellement sur
les Etats membres (volet 1 point 6. 1. ) qui disposent d'une
structure de collecte et d'élaboration bien implantée. Si la
Commission devait financer totalement ce programme, le coût
serait extrêmement élevé pour un produit certainement moins
fiable. b) Effets dérivés

Les résultats de l'action contribuent à l'amélioration
de l'information statistique utilisée dans le cadre des
travaux liés à la politique sociale. La collecte de l'information statistique repose sur une
architecture très subsidiarisée dans laquelle les
sytèmes nationaux ont une responsabilité au niveau de
chaque Etat membre. Le programme statistique communau
taire devient une partie intégrante des programmes
statistiques nationaux contribuant ainsi à créer un
espace statistique européen•

c) Effets multiplicateurs

Effet d'entraînement vers un espace statistique européen et
donc vers une plus grande intégration communautaire des
systèmes statistiques nationaux. -11 -

Cf. Fiche 5 - Annexe 4

3. 2. Modalités et périodicité de l'évaluation prévues

La mise en oeuvre du programme statistique est suivi en
permanence sur la base d'un tableau de bord (TBPS) qui définit
pour chaque projet (plus ou moins 190 projets) les objectifs
opérationnels et les ressources nécessaires sur base du principe
programmation-réalisation. Au début de chaque année, Eurostat
prépare un rapport sur l'avancement du programme au cours de
l'année précédente. Ce rapport comporte 3 parties :

la première synthétise, pour chaque politique, les princi
pales réalisations de l'année ;
la deuxième décrit pour chaque projet, l'objectif fixé et
les résultats obtenus ;
la troisième fournit des statistiques sur l'utilisation des
ressources humaines, budgétaires, informatiques et adminis
tratives dans le courant de l'année précédente. La résolution du Conseil du 26/06/1989 sur le programme
statistique des Communautés européennes 1989-1992 demande à la
Commission de lui adresser avant juin 1993 un rapport final sur
l'exécution du programme statistique. La Commission envisage de
faire préparer ce rapport par des consultants extérieurs à
l'Institution pour garantir une plus grande objectivité au
rapport (JO/C/161 du 26/06/1989, p. 1 ). ~
